Dynamic source with PHP variable, is it possible?

[Haitashi]

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="headerMovie.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF><EMBED src="<?php $HEADER_FLASH?>" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="1000" HEIGHT="173"
NAME="headerMovie" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>

What I'm trying to do is set the "src" parameter dynamically. However, I don't know if that's possible. Can I use a PHP variable as a source? O.o

THANKS!

Ofcourse you can, but you have to echo the contents of the variable into the source attribute.

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="headerMovie.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF><EMBED src="<?php echo $HEADER_FLASH?>" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="1000" HEIGHT="173"
NAME="headerMovie" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>

I should also add, for the standards lover in me, that elements and attributes should all be lowercase. So <PARAM NAME becomes <param name. It's not necessary, but your page won't validate otherwise.

Good day.

Great! I've been trying to use this on OSCommerce and I had to output the variable without the $ sign. I also removed the caps on the attributes. =)

Thanks for the reply!
